I would say to early to tell, he has shown improvement, lets see how he finishes up the season and what his agent is looking for? I dont make him a top 10 paid center in the league, but if he wants to stay and will take a prove it type deal, I would be fine with giving him a smallish term deal for low average center money.
That's a good question. Been thinking about that a lot lately. He's been a top 10 center this year and he's certainly going to get paid by someone. Should it be us?
I think so. We have some big contracts coming up, but centers don't get paid a lot and whatever it amounts to will be peanuts compared to what we'll be paying JJ and Darrisaw down the road.
I'd try to give him a term that ends before Darrisaw comes due. But the idea of getting the SAME FIVE offensive linemen back next year is huge. When was the last time the Vikings returned the same starting five? 20, 30 years?
